Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2422843A1] The apparatus has heart rate detection unit that determines ventricular heart rate from input signal. The contractility determination unit generates contraction signal that reflects contractility of heart chamber. The control unit is connected to therapy unit, heart rate detecting unit and contractility control unit, to control therapy unit to deliver anti-tachycardia therapy when heart rate detection unit detects an increase in heart rate over a predetermined threshold value and provides a contraction signal indicating that the increase in heart rate is physiologically adequate.
